Early weekend update!!!

First off, last weekend was a blast. My wife threw me a little surprise party with 35 friends and family and then on Sunday a bunch of us went to the Patriots game, big fun.

The reason for the early update is that in, oh, just about 10 hours I will be getting on a plane and flying to Amsterdam. AFter a couple of days there it's on to Germany for about 6 days and then to Prague to finish off the trip.

Why am I posting this on the ERAC page as my update, because my wife was able to call my boss in May and set this up as a surprise which she gave me on my birthday. My boss was cool with it and even began shifting my work assignments the past few weeks so that I would be free and clear to head off. Try imagining that happening at E-suck! Could you imagine someone calling an ARM and saying that an employee was getting a surprise trip to Europe for their b-day and to make sure the time off was ok and being told by the ARM that nope, it wouldn't work because that branch is already understaffed and whatever? Man, this is why I love NOT working for ERAC. Oh well, auf wiedersehen!
